18 And if in spite of this you will not listen to me, then I will discipline you again sevenfold for your sins,
5 Know then in your heart that, tas a man disciplines his son, the Lord your God udisciplines you.
12 hBlessed is the man whom you discipline, O Lord,
and whom you teach out of your law,
11 tMy son, do not udespise the Lord’s vdiscipline
or be weary of his reproof,
5 And have you forgotten the fexhortation that addresses you as sons?
g“My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord,
nor be weary when reproved by him.
6 For hthe Lord disciplines the one he loves,
and chastises every son whom he receives.”
7 It is for discipline that you have to endure. iGod is treating you as sons. For jwhat son is there whom his father does not discipline? 8 If you are left without discipline, in which all have participated, then you are illegitimate children and not sons. 9 Besides this, we have had earthly fathers who disciplined us and we respected them. Shall we not much more be subject to the Father kof spirits and live? 10 For they disciplined us for a short time as it seemed best to them, but he disciplines us for our good, that lwe may share his holiness. 11 For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the mpeaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been ntrained by it.
19 bThose whom I love, I reprove and discipline, so be zealous and repent.
